CX Zoom AWB
Operator:

Time filed: 23:32, Thursday, July 6, 2023 (UTC)

Function overview: Fix errors in code due to substitution of a template

Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: Manual

Programming language(s): AWB

Source code available: AWB

Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): Village pump (technical)/Archive 206 & Bot requests

Edit period(s): Until all errors are fixed.

Estimated number of pages affected: approx. 1520

Namespace(s): User talk

Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): No

Function details: Due to an error at Template:Uw-username, the following code appeared The actual markup that should have appeared is: There was another issue with the tempalate with this edit, where due to extra safesubst, the #ifeq check between current username & username at the time of subst was removed and Category:Wikipedia usernames with possible policy issues permanently became a part of that page.

I wish to run AWB to fix these errors, and figured out I might ask for Bot flag as per old discussions (on an unrelated matter) with Primefac & Xaosflux respectively, due to the number of pages expected to be affected. Since these changes concerns about administrative categories, I have concluded that it must not be exclusion compliant, although I can change it if asked to.

 * Done 50 edits. See Special:Contributions/CX Zoom AWB. Examples: 1, 2, 3. Although I hit a little too many edit filters, at one point disallowing me from making any edits, which was overcome when Ingenuity noticed the issue and granted me Confirmed rights. &#8212;CX Zoom[he/him] (let's talk • {C•X}) 18:33, 7 July 2023 (UTC)
 * This may be a bit late, but if the bot is editing talk pages, it should probably have the bot tag beforehand. — Qwerfjkl  talk  10:52, 9 July 2023 (UTC)
